§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he has taken under Section 20 of the 288W Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act in respect of the use of invalid carriages on footpaths and roads.
§ Mr. PeytonThe appropriate Regulations came into operation on 29th September, 1970.
§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if local authorities have yet reported to him in respect of the provision to be made for access to public buildings by the disabled under Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Graham PageNo. These Sections do not come into force until 29th November 1970, and impose no duty on local authorities to inform me of action taken under them. I am aware, however, that many local authorities have already complied with the spirit of the Act in respect of their own buildings.
